I trust my friend with my life, but I can't believe what my best friend did...

Your best friend is someone you can rely on to be there, for you, in the good, the bad and the ugly times of life. You trust this person with all your heart and give them 110% of yourself and of course you expect the same in return. You're there for them when they cry, smile or laugh. You will drop everything to be there for them when they are upset; whether it be over a boy, a girl, a fight or a job. You are a team, you tell each other how much you care, how much you love being friends and how you will be there for each other, forever, no matter what...


However, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way...

I used to basically live at my best friends house, we would go everywhere together, not often were we apart. Together we were a team, a happy team without any problems. Until the day came that I needed her. I had a close family member pass away and I became very upset. A group of friends took me to the football to erase my mind. I became drunk easily and wanted to go home, I called my best friend to come a get me, she came running. Except she didn't want to leave...

I spent a further five hours at the football whilst she flirted with footballers. We didn't leave until I told her I was calling a taxi.

Then my birthday came along, I had organised a hotel room to stay in. Not only was I late arriving because of her she also invited a guy to our hotel room, who just wouldn't leave. I got ready on my own. All of my other friends began to see how she chose boys over me and that she was becoming rude but I couldn't say goodbye.

Unfortunately I had to have surgery a little while after my birthday, I was in hosptial for a whole month and she came to visit once, for half an hour, with two other girls because they were 'in the area'. This was when I began to see that she wasn't my best friend anymore. I had to give up.

Surround yourself with positive people, say goodbye to toxic friends, don't let them walk all over you. You know who your true friends are- spend your time with them.

What has your best friend done to you?

Do you have a story like the one above?

Or do you have good stories about your best friend?

Complete this sentence: I trust my friend with my life, but I can't believe what my best friend did...

    from my early life, i'm not good at making friends especially with women (my own species).I act a bit like a man. so i prefer the opposite site of species as a friend because..well, they are not as sensitive as women do. i did work in men field, where i'm the only rose there..so, life was simple back there.

    when i moved and changed my job, i landed to this women field. OMG, i feel miserable from the beginning. but all that first few years, i still can be myself by keeping away all those women friendship. i didnt want to land in the wrong friendship. As years goes by, i became fully attach to one of my colleague.

    never know why..but may be we always handle the same occasions together. She will always be there whenever i need someone since my family is very far away...when i sick, when i sad..n everything. I started to open up myself to her..just because i feel that i can trust her.

    then one day, i had sent her this dreadful message. we had an argument which i had advice her before. she already married and was involved with one of our superior. i advice her because i love her (as a friend) and didnt want her to fall into that not so nice man. she ignored me and keep seeing that man until all messed up. she didnt tell me from the beginning how all the things started. but she ran into one of my colleagues. i always noticed that they always had this chit chat behind me. when i found out about it, she said she didnt want to make me worry bout her. thats why i send her that dreadful message cause i was angry.

    then, weeks after that she keep ignoring me..i keep sms and calling her because..i was angry but at the same time i was worry too...2 weeks after that, i went to her home..like what i taught, she really in a stress and messed up condition..I said i was sorry for that one message that i sent. I said i will believe her and be by her side no matter what. she then back into normal condition.

    weeks after that we keep seeing each other and had this chances to make up the stories. she told everything that had happened. I was listening and never once uttered a word. I just said, i will believed her and be at her side.

    She said she didnt want to let me go as her friend. she said i'm the best ever friend she ever had. I was impressed but few weeks after..that was when this friendship went dead. She took a sabbatical leave (6 months). I was not in my best condition of health. but always i'm the one who make an effort to get together and she always make an excuses. I felt abandoned especially when i felt very sick, i told her and she promised to come to my house. she didnt turn up, not even texted me back for few days..i'm really frustrated by then. then, one day she showed up just to say that she was really worried bout me. I kept my face smiling at her, and said to myself it will be ok. Then, she went missing for another 2 weeks. That when i really had my bad times at work and i need friend to listen to. she came only few weeks later. Once again, she said she was very busy. She offered to sent me to the airport (i went back home to my family) but at that point i realized that...that's it. i am going to end this friendship. its better hurt now than forever. She just keep coming to me whenever she needs something and i really dont want that kind of friendship.

    this really had a major impact on me. I didnt realized that friendship will get me into this kind of situation.
